Zilvia Server Update - Phase 1

[RJF]

Just wanted to give everyone an update on the server migration/upgrade project.

As of approximately 12 Noon today (December 9, 2006) Zilvia is up and running on the new server we purchased awhile ago. We completed the last of the database migration and tweaks necessary.

The next phase will be to archive all the existing data on the old server and rebuild that from scratch. Once that is completed we will move the Zilvia web frontend back over to the old server and dedicate the server we are on now to the backend database. This should be sufficient to split the load and keep performance optimized.

We don't have an exact schedule when all this is going to happen, but I'd like to try and get the old server rebuilt by next weekend. Only hinderance is something called a job. Anyone have tonight's winning PowerBall numbers so we can retire and work on Zilvia full-time? :D


Zilvia.net Webmail will be down during this transition period. If you need the email address to be active, please drop me a note at [email protected] and I can forward emails to another email service.

glad to hear everything is up and running good so far. as for the e-mails, is it only e-mails or does it affect pm's as well?

[West]

PMs are not effected.

This update will also speed up the load times of the pages, correct?

[mr_240sx]

i would think so cause zilvia is fast again!!!!!

[!Zar!]

Ohh and all the accounts that were just wasting space are gone.

So... much... faster...! Yay zilvia. haha. I spend too much time on this site...

[A'PEXi]

yeh, zilvia was very very slow before the update, seems to be slightly faster at the moment.

works for me...although you have to wait 60 seconds now to do another search...versus the past 20 second limit.

weird shit, when I search for "work meister" (whithout "") it returns a blank page, but when I search for something else it worked fine. Than I tried the same shit on 2 other computers and got the same blank page again.

I've been having the same issue. at first I thought it was my computer failing at life. untill I tried another one.

but hearing as how you are having the same problem, I wonder if it is server related.
